Designed to be a Nowthewn Outpost to defend against possibre invasions fwom the Nowth ow waids fwom the Iswes of Ostavaw, the Castwe’s design was unlike any othew, spwead acwoss fwom the Cliffs of Awamaw to thwee piwwaws that went out towawds the Waking Sea.

Designed to be a Northern Outpost to defend against possible invasions from the North or raids from the Isles of Ostavar, the Castle’s design was unlike any other, spread across from the Cliffs of Alamar to three pillars that went out towards the Waking Sea. Each of the Towers of Salstone acted as their own Keep, setting up stages of defense should the Castle come under siege. However before all that one was forced t breach the Burning Gate that granted the only entrance into the Alamar territory as all other routes were blocked by the Vimmark Mountains. Once past the Burning Gate you are met with Ocran’s Bluff, the first Keep of Salstone, named after General Joseph Ocran’s tactical brilliance during the Renatus Rebellion in [[Athera]].

History

The Castle of Saltstone-by-the-Sea was once the seat of House Varodyr, a Knightly House in the Reformed Kingdom of Oren. When Ser Garahel the Sword in the Evening and his cousin Bryce Vimmark arrived in the land that would be the Knightly Fief of Varodyr they came across the cliffs of Alamar and the pillars of land that would be the foundations of the Castle to be built.The Castle was commissioned by Ser Garahel in the year 1514, approximately a year after the Descendent Races landed in Vailor. The Castle is of unique design in Oren and perhaps different to any fortress in the known world, designed by Master Architect and Geologist Prince Leufroy Ashford de Savoie over the course of several years. Once the designs were finished the Castle was raised over the course of three years in remarkable speed due to the oversight of Lord Arstan Bedell who assisted the process of raising the Castle. The Castle was finished with all its towers in the year of 1518.

Eventually the Castle’s original owner Ser Garahel vanished soon after the conclusion of the Dukes War leaving his only heir and cousin Bryce Vimmark to take up ownership of the Castle and its surrounding lands. Guy de Bar named Bryce the Baron of Alamar and Lord of Salstone during his brief reign. Bryce was raised to become the Viscount of Alamar once John Frederick of House Horen. Bryce attempted several times to form a bustling community in the lands of Alamar and around the Castle of Salstone but eventually his efforts ceased after he was charged with treason and met his end through an assassin's blade.

The Castle sit unused for many years, the Imperial House taking ownership of the Castle and its lands through its blood ties with House Vimmark, dust settled, buildings went into disrepair and things looked bleak in the Castle and in Alamar. Soon though the first born son of Bryce ascended to Knighthood through the will of John Sigismund of House Horen, reversing the charges brought against Bryce posthumously and granting the Fief of Saltstone-by-the-Sea to the now Ser Maric Vimmark, naming him Protector of Alamar. Now the Castle and its land has life in it once more, as Ser Maric was raised to become the Grand Knight of the Empire, restoring the Order of the Red Dragon choosing to house the Orders Chapter of the Lion in his lands, restoring Salstone and Alamar once more as a Military Outpost.
